Rival Schools

Greetings, Now we have the conch. Welcome to the official, unofficial, teaser/real deal Holyfield web-site of Rival Schools. Lubricate your mouse and prepare to journey through our cyber world, as if you were grabbing your twenty-sided die in a heated game of Dungeons and Dragons. If you have visited this site before your well aware that we are slightly lax on updating this puppy, but have you know it is a work in progress as well as a slight pain in the ass.

Rival Schools, in case you don’t know, is a fierce rocking unit consisting of four rockers that like to rock. Walter Schreifels, who fronted the late great Quicksand, is singing as well as holding down one of the axes. The man swinging the other axe complete with numerous hot licks is Ian Love. Known to few as Captain EO, Ian spent some time in the band Burn, as well as fronting his own groups through the years. He prefers Ian to EO, Liam, or The Captain. Cache “Utah Slim” Tolman is in charge of the low end. Inspired more by Robbie Shakespeare, and less by Gene Simmons, he played in Iceburn as well as CIV, not to mention his not to be missed solo Dub and country projects. Drummer Sammy Siegler played with “Utah” in CIV as well as many other N.Y. hardcore ensembles in which he often teamed up with Schreifels. The four did not go to the same schools.

Please check out what ever tunes we have in here as well as any of our pimping merch. In time we should have some way for you to send us your thoughts, but for now it is a one way conversation. Keep in mind, because we’ve spent a lot of time recently in the woods recording, we’ve gained a great deal of respect for the late, Alfred Mosher Butts, inventor of Scrabble.
